When the novel starts the main character is on his way downtown to do his volunteer work in a soup kitchen. He's volunteering there for his civics class credit. He left this to the very last minute hoping his teacher would forget, now with just a few weeks left he is left to do an entire semester worth of work. He is crossing through a field in the dark trying to save time since he is already running late, he runs into a homeless person who asks for change and warns him not to be waving his money around in those parts of town. After leaving the homeless person he continues down the path where he runs into trouble with 3 older guys who take his shoes and are now trying to get his money out of him, but lies and says he gave it all to the homeless person, hoping they'll go after him.
Would you have lied and said that you didn't have money on you, or would you have handed it over?
